Visual
Agitation
is a magazine for graphic designers. It was published by the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Uinion (CPSU) at the
Moscow publishing house 'Poster'. The magazine was directly
supervised by the
CPSU. The
Editorial board, presided by Viktor Litvinov (born 1948), was totally in
favour of perestroika and tried to reform the magazine into an
innovative publication for professional designers. That is the reason
why in 1990 the old-fashioned soviet name was changed into
Khudozhnik-Orformitel (Artist-Designer). The end of the Soviet-Union was
also the end of this magazine. In total 12 issues were published. The LS
Collection holds the complete set.
